src/java.xml/share/classes/javax/xml/xpath/XPathFactory.java line 375:

Are properties inherited by the XPath object at create time? The javadoc for newXPath suggests so and I'm wondering if the javadoc for setProperty needs to consistent with that. Maybe the intention is really that this method sets a XPathFactory property and it is used when configuring the XPath object returned by the newXPath method.
